In the early hours of Wednesday
23rd January 2013, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) arrested
Hassan Yasser Karajeh, a 29 year old youth activist in the
Stop the Wall Campaign, violently breaking into his home in
the West Bank village of Safa, west of Ramallah. Since then
he is in interrogation without access to his lawyer or
family.

This new arrest of Stop the Wall staff comes as
Palestinian popular resistance against the increasing
Israeli settlement construction and forcible expulsion of
Palestinian communities is gathering pace. The new
generation of active, creative and determined youth
activists and their movement galvanizing popular resistance
are clearly a threat to these actions and human rights
defenders will pay a heavy toll of repression. Hassan is
only one of them – a symbol of a new generation of
Palestinian resistance.

Stop the Wall asks solidarity
groups, social movements, human rights organizations and
concerned citizens to act together to free Hassan Karajah
and stop the repression of human rights defenders in
Palestine.
